David Peters

David Peters is a founding member of Louisiana's LeRoux and a native of Baton Rouge.

David's unique style of mixing Jazz rhythms with Rock & Roll tenacity created the backbeat that helped form the sound of the early LeRoux releases. His mastery of drumming techniques enables him to lend intricate rhythmic textures to any musical style.

David also toured the world with legendary blues guitarist Gatemouth Brown, and is currently on tour throughout the US with Blues artist Tab Benoit.
